Phone carriers/manufacturers don't like people rooting their phones. If you do, it generally voids your warranty, so you'd have to pay to get it fixed. They'd also likey update it back to the unrooted version.

Agreed! Carriers prefer that we are all good little boys and girls and not try to improve the user experience that they provided us.

When you RMA your phone, they might as well just give you a different one. Its a lot quicker to just give you a different phone then fixing the one you currently have. When you make returns, its normally their goal is the shortest turnaround time for you, the customer.

The one you currently have will most likely be reflashed and touched up a little, and sold as a refurbished device, so its not like it goes to waste.
